Americans throw away around 120 pounds of food each month.

Besides being an enormous waste of food, this reflects our general lack of understanding that most of the world’s people barely eat one meal a day.

Those with no access to a regular food supply might not even eat 120 pounds of food in an entire month. In other words, we throw away more food than the world eats.

Do you know that changing how you purchase your groceries can make a difference?

Lots of us think about changing our lives. But the key is that we have to live ourselves into new ways of thinking. That means taking action now. You have to change your actions, because thinking about changing your actions doesn’t cut it.

If you changed how you purchased your groceries today, you could not only feed your family–but feed orphans overseas.

Last month, Kirby Patterson–one of the founders of Destiny Foods Direct–came to our HopeChest board meeting to grill steaks and chicken for us. Check out this video:

Buying your beef, pork, and poultry from Destiny Foods Direct will save you money and time, reduce your household waste, and a portion of the proceeds will help feed orphans.

Having personally tried the food myself, I can assure you it is of the highest quality. You will not believe how juicy and fresh the meat tastes.

Destiny Foods Direct will FedEx a 45-day supply of beef, pork, and poultry right to your door. Each piece of meat is individually quick frozen, and packed in a hard foam box with dry ice.

Why buy meat this way?

First, it’s cheaper. Destiny Foods Direct adds no water or flavoring solutions to their products. These solutions add unnecessary weight and cost you more at the grocery story–10-20 percent more. Destiny Foods Direct will cost you only $2.19/serving.

Second, it’s better. The fat is trimmed for you. Fat adds extra cost at the grocery store. Destiny Foods Direct trims the fat for you, and only uses USDA “prime” and “choice” meat–a higher quality of beef than you are likely to find in the grocery store.

Third, it feeds twice. Every package of Destiny Foods Direct products you buy will also provide food for orphans overseas. You feed your family with great food, and orphans are fed through a $50 per purchase donation that goes directly to Children’s HopeChest.

Finally, it is portion controlled. Each piece of meat is individually wrapped, so you only cook what you’ll eat. No more waste.

Changing how you buy groceries may sound like a big deal. And getting a box of beef and chicken shipped to your door may feel a little strange at first. But I challenge you to look at your budget, go to Destiny Foods Direct, and purchase a box.
